    • Please understand every device is different, therefore you may record a longer or shorter distance.
  6. There will be a single aid station located at the entrance to the property near the start/finish line.  The hydration station will have water, Tailwind and sodas.  Please bring your own bottle.
  7. As part of our support to the runners, the aid station will offer prepackaged snacks (cookies, chips, PB&J sandwiches, etc.) and we will have pizza delivered around noon. We will try to accommodate any special needs or request the best we can, however if you have concerns or prefer to bring your own snacks and food, you are welcome to set up a tray table or chair along the lawn or parking area with your supplies. There will also be a community table available to set things up.

    • Please keep noise down in the early morning hours of the race.
    • It is important to keep the course clear of trash.  We will have trash bins around the aid station and some neighbors may already have their trash bins out for next morning pickup.
    • In addition, our next door neighbors are now a Hispanic Baptist Church and they may be using some additional parking around the back of both properties.
  9. We will have a quick meeting around 7:15 am to go over last minute details before the start of the event.
  10. The race will start promptly on Sunday morning at 7:30am.
  11. Your safety and wellbeing is always our #1 priority!
    • Although by now, social distancing guidelines are being relaxed and most of you, like us, have already received your vaccinations, we encourage you to continue to practice social distancing and wear a mask at any time that you feel is needed!

If there is anything else we think about, we’ll communicate it again before Saturday, in addition to updating this page.
